- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Disability Services (22 Mar 2023)
Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank the Minister of State and acknowledge that some work has been done since these disclosures came to light. However, contravention of the Health Act 2007 over such a long period is a very serious matter. The Minister of State must ensure there is accountability for these failures and outline the steps she is taking to ensure this can never happen again, either in Western Care...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Disability Services (22 Mar 2023)
Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank the Minister of State for taking this important matter. She will be aware that in 2017 HIQA had concerns that Western Care Association was exploiting a loophole in the legislation and not registering individualised services. HIQA raised these concerns with Western Care Association at the time but the organisation insisted that the individualised care services did not meet the...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: The Future of STEM in Irish Education: Discussion (Resumed) (21 Mar 2023)
Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank all the witnesses for sharing their expertise. This has been a really valuable session. It indicates that we ignore this at our peril. I am seriously concerned about some of the stuff that has been brought forward here but it is important to name it. The headlines will indicate that we embrace STEM, and we do this and we do that. However, some very fundamental aspects of the...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: The Future of STEM in Irish Education: Discussion (Resumed) (21 Mar 2023)
Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank everyone for their statements. The IUA's opening statement discussed the need for policy focus on scaling the provision of STEM at third level and a broader strategy for lifelong learning. Obviously, we have discussed reskilling and upskilling. Is the State an outlier in how we support students in part-time education? Is there a need to reduce the cost and increase supports for...

Rose Conway-Walsh: We have a €307 million gap. There is a possibility of at least €150 million in budget 2024 and how that needs to be done. I very much hear what Professor Looney is saying about the piecemeal approach to it. I am concerned about the waste of resources when we have a piecemeal approach like that instead of how we could maximise if we had the core funding sorted out. When I...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: The Future of STEM in Irish Education: Discussion (Resumed) (21 Mar 2023)
Rose Conway-Walsh: I need to ask Dr. Kyne a question related to accessibility. Will she give an update on the borrowing framework for the technological universities? The Minister tells us time and again that the technological universities can now borrow but is this the case? Can they borrow as it is now? Is everything put in place for the technological universities to borrow?
